units of the 95th Separate Air Assault Polissia Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces have taken full control of the settlement of Beriozove in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.'
Key Enemy Assets Destroyed
In the early hours of March 26, Ukraine's Defense Forces also destroyed a Tor-M1 anti-aircraft missile system in the Novopskov district of Luhansk Oblast. Furthermore, Ukrainian troops struck enemy ammunition depots in the Makedonivka and Buriakova Balka areas of Donetsk Oblast. Fuel and lubricant storage sites in Luhansk Oblast, specifically near the settlements of Aidar and Raihorodka, were also hit.
Separately, it is important to note that Ukrainian Defense Forces units struck the Kirishi oil refinery in the city of Kirishi, Leningrad Oblast, Russian Federation. Preliminary reports indicate a fire broke out at the site's primary oil processing units and two storage tanks. The Kirishi refinery is one of Russia's largest, with an annual processing capacity of approximately 20-21 million tons of oil, accounting for over 6% of the country's total oil refining volume. These strikes on Russian energy infrastructure are part of a broader strategy to degrade the enemy's military logistics and economic base.
Step by step, our paratroopers are driving the Russian occupiers from Ukrainian soil. Wherever units of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine advance, the enemy suffers colossal losses or remains in Ukrainian land forever.
The operation to secure Beriozove highlights the proactive stance of Ukrainian forces in countering Russian aggression and their capacity for successful offensive actions. The targeting of critical military and industrial assets, such as the Kirishi refinery, demonstrates Ukraine's strategic approach to crippling enemy resources. These developments are likely to have a significant impact on the conflict's trajectory and the strategies of both sides in the near term.
As Ukrainian forces continue to make significant strides in reclaiming territory, their focus on disrupting Russian military infrastructure remains crucial. Recent reports highlight a series of targeted strikes, including an attack on key facilities that support the enemy's operations.
